LAN only mode

CajunDaedalus

When I launch the server, it says server is up but in "LAN only mode". How do I make it visible to friends?

[10:38:51 PM]  Windows Firewall automatically configured (rule already present)

[10:38:51 PM]  Starting server on TCP port range 32000-32000...

[10:38:51 PM]  Server started and available at port 32000.

[10:38:51 PM]  Trying to open 192.168.0.50:32000 using either NAT-PMP or UPnP...

[10:38:52 PM]  192.168.0.50:32000 successfully opened using UPnP

[10:39:05 PM]  Server published online (LAN only mode)

I'm having the same issue. I do need to be able to play online to play with my group.

Hello, for the open beta you need to go to your router settings and open a public port to your PCs internal IP address (the default port for Skirmish! is 32000). If you choose a different port, you can enter it in the Skirmish! server settings (click on the gear icon at the bottom).

Here is a little screenshot to show you how to open the port. Note: Your router settings window may look different depending on your router but the settings should be there all the same.

Oh, and also make sure your firewall doesn't block Skirmish!. If you have further questions, just post them here.

Similar problem here. Server cannot connect to Port 32000 via UPnP. I also tried it with a different port and got the same result. UPnP should  be enabled, for all I can tell.
(Also, there seems to be a problem with the windows firewall, although skirmish! is started in admin-mode and got full permission)

If Upnp mode does not work for some reason you can still forward the ports in your router manually, however the process is different from router to router.
